Friday's winner came at Sligo where Will Do was 2nd at halfway leading from 3 out. He was 3 lengths clear approaching the straight keeping on well on the run-in beating Insouciant Dallier by 6 1/2 lengths. In the big Group 3 at Dundalk The Highway Rat was 3rd in a contest won by Dun Na Sead who beat Bouttemont by 2 1/4 lengths.
The weekend begins with 7 races at Galway on Saturday where there are 2 features.
2.32: Connolly's Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle.
8: Ollie La Ba Ba: Built on his hurdles debut when second at Cork 2 weeks ago. He made progress from 4 out and despite a slight mistake he moved into 2nd two out keeping on at the same pace on the run-in. He sets a clear standard here and this is an excellent opportunity for him to go one better.
4.17: W.B. Gavin & Co. Handicap Hurdle.
1: Buddy One: Having run well at the Cheltenham and Grand National festivals earlier this year he was a good 3rd at Listowel when last seen 35 days ago. He led from five out being passed two from the finish dropping to 3rd close to home. He has the same jockey on board here and should put in another decent performance.
